August 25, 2017 - As Hurricane Harvey approaches the Texas Gulf Coast, Forest Supervisor Eddie Taylor is closing all campgrounds and trails in the Davy Crockett, Angelina and Sabine National Forests.

Sam Houston National Forest sites were closed earlier in the week.

“With potentially high winds, possible tornados and heavy rainfall, the forest is not a safe place to be,” Taylor said. “Recreation areas and trails will remain closed until the storm has passed and our personnel have determined the roads and public areas are safe.”
